With such "means c' a ppliances," as the talent s o f six such artists as have n ever pares and London, viz , Grisi, Albertazzi, Persiani, Rubini, ,aniburini, an d Lablache, it is scarcely necessary to say the L iting was of unrivalled excellence. This combination of demur and ability, however, did not prove so decidedly attrac tive as might have been anticipated, the house being me: ely Well attended but not filled with company. The peculiar powers ,‘laclr of the great a r ti s t s ment i one d were exhibited on Satur- N , night, in the most popular pieces of the modern opera l'ehool, which, whatever may be its intrinsic merit, certainly derive s an additional cha rm f rom th e i r concept i on and superior aeution.

The violin concerto, although played by a per- • , e per former fr om t h e Conservatoire at Paris, was but a mediocre Perfo rmance, and occurr i ng, as i t did, in the midst of so muc h threellenee, was vapid and tedious. The sinfonias were played hat in a hasty and careless style. Costa, the conductor, b Judiciously left the care of them to the leader of the band, i t u t, from the eculiar construction of the erchestra, he was, as hra_PPeared to us, to be seen by but few of the performers. The trlugratrirne stated that the performances would conclude at I „ ‘ e , v en o'clock ; they were not over, however, till twenty mi th7es before twelve, and would have been still later, had not tif terminating it overture, announced in the bill, been s u mm a • Y dispensed wh.

Mr. Charles Kean had his benefit at this theatre last night, which was also announced as the conclusion of his engagement here for the Present season. The house was crowdedly fillet in every part—all the private boxes, and each particular stall in the pit, were occupied. If any special attraction were required, which assuredly was not the case, to swell the attendance on the occasion, it was found in the circumstance of Mr. Kean's making his first appearance in the part of Sir Edward Mortimer in the Is - on Chest, a tragedy which; take it for all in all, is about the least to be tolerated of those wherein our leading actors are in the habit of manifesting their powers. The character of Sir Edward is one of extreme difficulty to any actor, compressing, as it does, into the space of some few hours, an action and emotions distributed by the more powerful novelist over a period of many months, it might be years. Frost the opening to the closing scene of the drama there is no repo all is excitement, only varied by the quick.passing lights and shadots of passion. Mr. Kean's Sir Edward Mortimer may rank with those of his past essays in which he has been most fortunate— his Hamlet, for instance. There is a something, be it more or less, in the two parts, in which they are akin, and with which he, as an actor, can find his imagination excited. He was applauded during his performance, and, at its conclusion, called forth, as is but too usual to make such compli. ments of much value, to the footlights, where flowers were flung pro. fusel) from some fair hands. With regard to the rest of the perform. ance, we cannot omit to notice the wonderful truth of Dowton, in Old Winterton —affecting i n its very truth—the excellent actor sympa thised but too well with the part. Ccmpton's Sampson was also a clever piece of acting ; and M`lan in tire recreant brigand, was a bri gand for Salvator himself. HAYMARKET. This elegant theatre was crowded last night. The new Way , by Jerrold, entitled The M o th er, th oug h exceedingly eimple in lot, turning entirely on the pas s i ona t e l ove o f a mother for a IoT ' d, awakens the sympathies, especially of the female part of the audience-- in a theatre always the most important. Madame Celeste, who sustains the part of the bereft mother, by her expressive acting leaves scarcely a dry eye in the house. Then followed The White Horse of the Peppers, from the ever successful and pleasing pen of Mr. Lover ; in which Power has one of his own p:.rts, succeeding to a miracle in astonishing, and we may add, humbugging, the phlegmatic Dutchman, Hans Mansfeldt, ably personated by Mr. W.:bster. Mrs. Fitzwilliam, as an Irish girl, is all naivete, and sings some of Mr. Lover's melodies with much taste and expression. After The White Horse of the Peppers, came Suzanne, a pleasing trifle, rendered exceedingly interesting by the pantomime of Madame Celeste, who plays the heroine. The evening's entertainments closed with Buck stone's last and most laughable farce, Weak Points, which appears to have lost none of its attractions. FRENCH PLAYS.—COLOSSEUM. The return of M. Alexandre to this country has given general satis , faction to those persons who recollect his extraordinary performances sonic' ears since. It is net as a mere mimic that this artist has earned his fame. his astounding ventriloquil powers and the mind with which he invests every character he assumes have alike contributed to render his histrionic-assumptions of more than ordinary interest. The Cock," d' Auxerre, in which he is now delighting fashionable audiences at the Colosseum, is well calculated to develop his marvellous talent for close imitation. As a mere exhibition of quick change in costume, the piece is, perhaps. unexampled; but there are other and higher qualities which entitle M. Alexandre to more honourable distinction. The fa. edify of altering his tone of voice, the natural ease with which his by play is managed, and the perfect consistency of the ensemble, altogether renders the Cocker the most diverting of entertainments, and easily ac. counted for the unbounded mirth created from the beginning to the end. Besides Al. Alexandre there are two vaudevilles, with a regular French company; and the playing of thei Dstin Family on brass instruments, fill up the gap most agree..bly. STRAND. Last night The Rake's Progress, from the pen of Leman Rede, was produced at this house. It was a dramatic amplification of the ce!e brated series under the same name by flogarth. The p!ot contains nothing that can claim rnufh cf cud in several places there are indications of the author having beep hurried in the composition, but generally speak'ng, it is neatly written; the interest is kept up, and there are some very tine flashes of the pathetic. The comedy of the piece is very rich. The applause was immense at the fall of the curtain. In obedience to a long unanimous call, Mr. Redo was under the neces sity of coming forward to receive the congratulations of a very crowded house. The second piece was from the pen of Mr. Selby, entitled Little Sins and Pretty Sinners. There is little plot, nor much incident, nor is there great scope In: acting. The characters arc all Quakers, male and female, and the scene is laid In America. Othello concluded the evening's entertaimnent, and was received with as much cordiality as if .t had been a novelty. SURREY. The Surrey, with its new and splendid decorations, made a dazzling appearance last night, filled, as it was, in every part. A new nautical drama, entitled Homeward Bound, or the Watch in the Main-top, was brought forward fur the ammement of the holiday visitors, and played throughout with applause. It was effective and successful, and with a little pruning will become, we do not doubt, a favourite of long continu ance. It is written by the author of Newton Fester, Ben Brace, and other pieces of nautica► character. Ile scenery is excellent. The main-top of the Centurion, with the yard and sail before it, is one of the best dramatic representations of a ship's top we have seen. With respect to the acting, every one did their duty. Saville was exec:lent throughout the part. Mrs. Henry Vining was also clever, and received great applause. In some of the scenes the sketches of life and manners are admirable. The curtain fell amidst loud plaudits, and the piece was given out for repetition without a dissentient voice. After the historical romance of Crichton, we ;witnessed the first representation of a drama called The King of the Hills, or the Frog, Tortoise, and Monkey. This is founded on the popular traditions of the Hartz Mountains, and the means of introducing the celebrated Ile, Von Klishnig, who enacts with wonderful agility the monkey, frog, and tortoise. The exhibition of this wonderful performer drew down reiterated applause. VICTORLI. The amusements at this theatre, both on, the stage and in the body of the house, were rather of a more tranquil cast than usually charac terises the performances of this season. Of the scenic entertainments the first was a musical drama, said to be performed for the first time at this house, under the title of The Amethyst Ring; or, the Boy of the Alps, which turns upon a single and solitary assassination—a lamentable falling off from the profuse liberality of horrors which generally dis tinguishes the dispensers of melo-dramatic attractions at the Surrey side of the river. It : however, as well as the subsequent pieces, was inter spersed with so.ne p!easing music, and the entertainments were received with approbatio❑ by a decorous and orderly, if not a very enthusiastic audience. SADLER'S WELLS. This theatre opened last evening with a grand historical spectacle, called The Rye House Plot, founded, as its title indicates, upon an oc currence which has gained undying celebrity, in association with the fate of Lord William Russell. Lawrence Lee, a farmer, is enamoured of Ruth Rumbald, the daughter of the owner of the Rye House; from his propinquity to the scene, and his well-known objection to the Stuarts, he is necessarily admitted into the baud of the conspirators, but upon ascertaining the extent to which they intend to proceed, he acquaints the King with their designs. The " Merry Monarch " proceeds in di, guise to the Rye House, and arrests the band of traitors, and, as a re ward for his loyalty, pardons Lee, who is afterwards united to Ruth. Of the dialogue we are unable to speak, in consequence of the unqualified indicatives of approval which the holiday audience continued to evince from the raising of the curtain until its fall, thereby rendering the piece little better than dumb show. The scenery was very beautiful; got up with a degree of care, and an evident disregard of expense, and painted with an adherence to historical fidelity that is highly creditable to the artist. The theatre has been newly decorated. A very amusing farce, I'll not have a IVife, followed ; and a romantic drama, entitled, The Tempter, concluded the entertainments. ASTLErS. The enterprising proprietor of this establishment produced last even ing a new piece, in which those interesting animals, horses, formed the principal feature. The first of the two new pieces is The Oracle ; or, the Olympic Conquest of Babylon, and is described as " written ex pressly* for this theatre by Mr. Baxter, to introduce the treble company and double stud, aided by new scenery, dresses, properties, music, and striking stage effects, on a scale of grandeur hitherto unprece_ den tcd. To the par nolile were allotted the principal parts (next to the osses, as they are ca' led en the Surrey side), viz., those of Cleostratus and Prince Zerxes, the plot of the piece being woven from materials drawn from that portion of classic story which relates to the murder of the father of the Prince by Cleostratus, to the endeavour of that tyrant to sustain his tsosition on the throne he has usurped by imputing that murder to Marpesa (Mrs Campbell) the wife of the slaughtered monarch, and to the just retribution which he after wards meets with from the hands of Xerxes himself, at the moment he is about to sacrifice that prince's Innocent child to revenge himself on his captive Azema (Mrs. Shepherd), the wife of the injured prince, who has refused to consent to be united to hint. The dialogue in which all this stab-and-clatter sort of scenes were worked out was beneath criti cism, and therefore we will not criticise it. After thepiece Was brought to a conclusion a series of those teats of horsemanship for which this establishment is more particularly celebrated took place in the circle. Mr. Ducrow was here in his element, and played his admired act of Figaro on horseback to perfection. The well-known ponies surpassed them selves in their "tricksy" feats, and Mr. Price threw twenty-six summer_ sets successively, to the astonishment of the audience, while Miss Wood_ Lord's equestrian scene was deservedly applauded. The entertainment concluded with what the author of the playbill styled a " British Loyal National pageant of The Oueen! God bless her " The audience was a very crowded one, and more noisy, if possibly, than on any former occasion on which we have attended the performances at the Royal Amphitheatre. WHITE CONDUIT GARDENS. Last evening these gardens were thrown open for the first time this season. The attendance of the public was beyond all expectation nume rous, and showed how highly the exertions of the proprietary during the past year have been appreciated. The entertainments for the evening commenced with a grand vocal and instrumental Concert, in which the British Minstrel Family ably sustained the high character which has been already given to their performance. In the beautiful quartette of " Sound the Trumpet boldly," they were loudly encored. A pastoral ballet dance, entitled The Lass of Richmond Hill, written by Mr. Bed ford, who has selected only the music, consisting of several very old and favourite airs, followed, and was received with applause. The corps de ballet, in point of beauty and agility, may well bear compari ,son with th e most attractive and efficient of which the town can boast. The display of fireworks which concluded the entettaimnents of the evening, was well conducted. GREENWICH WHITSUNTIDE FAIR. Yesterday, notwithstanding the pe'tin, showers, so inauspicious to holiday sports, Gre enw i ch and its environs appeared thronged with visi tors. The railroad an d the steamers were the main arteries, as it were, supplying the far.famed rendezvous with life and activity. Although additional coaches were put upon the road, the business done was trivial compared to the influx of company carried down by steam. The fair displays little novelty. Johnson and Nelson Lee have again reared the Thespian Temple so long massaged by Richardson. A variety of new paintings and decorations, together with a mclodrame and other features of the drama, proved a strong excitement to the frequenters of the fair. The veteran Saunders has a troop of performers. Clarke's theatre also rises in splendour above the minor stars. Amongst the novelties, there is the celebrated giantess, Miss Weston, whose perpendicular height exceeds seven fort. Another rara avis is the white negress. These, with gigantic calves, monstrous horned cattle, and many wonders which have long ceased to excite wonder, form the striking features of the fair. We say nothing of the great dancing tooth, which, as usual, occupies half the space allotted for the whole fair. In the Park and the ave nues the people formed an immense body. All the variety of goods, toys, and eatables, usual at the fair, were display e d f or sale, but the sp i_ rit of the great picture formed in the Park was fcund in the merry groups racing over the hills, or sauntering amidst the sylvan shades which skirt the heights. Blackheath also presented a scene of rivalry. Archery, donkee.racing, and other amusements, kept the visitors upon the broad grin. Webster, the lessee of the Haymarket, has engaged Maoame Vestris and Charles I‘Lthews to perform twelve nights in that theatre, previous to their departura for America. Madame Vestris will afterwants take a farewell .benefit at the Italian Opera-house. On that occasion Madame Votris will personate a character in three different dramas in English, French, and Italian. YARMOUTH ELECTION. MR. 7'. BARING and Col,. THOMPSON - - -•- A short time ago a petition was presented from Mr. T. Baring, the unsuccessful candidate at the last Yarmouth Elec tion, against the return of Messrs. Rumbold and Wilshere on the ground of bribery. A Committee was struck, which consisted of eight Tory members and three Whigs. The sitting members thinking there was little chance of success with a Committee so composed, agreed to a compromise, which was that one of them should retire ; and eight Yarmouth gentlemen, then in London, bound themselves to remain neu tral on Mr. Baring offering himself to supply the vacancy. It was understood that Mr. Wilshere should be the gentleman to vacate, and Mr. Baring pressed him to do so instantly, that he might at once walk over the course before any opposition could be organised against him. Mr. Wilshere refused to do this, preferring to run the risk of all that could be proved against the Reform Members before such an adverse Commit tee. Mr. Baring, with Mr. Praed, had set the example of bribery in the Borough far beyond the usual, headmoney to the freemen, which was two guineas per man, but as the petition did not pray that he should be seated, but only that the Reform Members should be unseated, the Committee would allow no evidence of this fact. Under this state of things, the arrangement was effected that Mr. Wil t,here should retire at the end of the Session—that the eight gentlemen should remain neutral when Mr. Baring again offered himself, and that the Committee should, in the mean time, report that the sitting Members were duly elected, and that the petition against their return was not frivolous or vexatious. As soon as this arrangement became known at Yarmouth it produced a great sensation. The electors found that Mr. Baring, whom they had rejected by a majority of eighty, in tended to slip in by a trick, and that they were to be coo ll y transferred from the one candidate to the other. In the midst of this indignation a gentleman arrived from London, and it was soon whispered about the town that his business was to bring forward another candidate. He acknowledged that it was so, hut as he stubbornly refused to state the name, except at a pul.lic meeting of the electors, the greatest curiosity was manifeqed. In the mean time an article appeared in the Norwich Mercury of S sturdily last, describing the political opinions of the unknown candidate, which were ultra-liberal. On this various speculations arose : some said . it was Captain Deans Dundas, others Captain Napier, others Mr. Ewart, others one of the O'Cennells, and many, that it was a hoax altogether. The result, however, proved that it was not. A standing Committee of the Liberal interest, composed of about 150 gentlemen, was summoned, by a circular without a name, to meet on Saturday evening, at the great room in the Crown and Ancleor, on " important business." At the hour appointed the rosin was crowded, and George Steward, Esq., of the H. E. I. C. S., was called to the chair, who briefly ad dressed the meeting, declaring his ignorance of the subject on which they had been summoned, and his willingness to listen to any proposition that might be made to promote the cause of reform. Mr. E. R. PALMER (the Deputy Recorder of Yarmouth), said—lf lam not misinformed, Mr. Chairman, I believe there is a gentleman among us who is a stranger to us, who has the power of nominating or proposing a gentleman to us to represent us at the next coming contest. I arn, Sir, like yourself, perfectly ignorant who called us together, or with the cause of that gentleman 'a coming among us; but still, Sir, 'from the communication I have had with that gentleman this evening, lam happy to state that lie comes down on purely constitutional principles ; a man who will not go between the bat Is and the tree, but who will fight straightforward and con scientiously. That is the nom we want for Yarmouth. We want a man who will not be like Mr. Baring, wearing one face, and fighting another way. We want a straightforward man, and that straightforward man is to be proposed this evening; therefore, without further preface, I shall call upon that gentleman to announce to us the name of his candidate. Mr. C. BARNES said that before they had the stranger in troduced, he thought they ought to make up their minds whe ther they would oppose Mr. Baring.—(lmmense cheering, and cries of " Yes, yes.") Therefore, without entering into details, he should move " that it is the decision of this meeting that it is essentially desirable to oppose Mr. Baring,"—(Tre mendous cheering.) The Deputy RECORDER would cordially second the resole- , tion.—Carried unanimously. On the question being put if any perasn in that meeting were of a contrary opinion, there were loud cries of " No." Mr. Noe Ft-mouse, of London, then rose amid loud cheering. It is my duty to mention to you the cause of my visiting Yar mouth. A gentleman of rank in her Majesty's service, who has already been in Parlinnent, is desirous of being again re turned, and engaged me to act for him. I heard that Yar mouth was to be' vacant at the end of this session, and I men tioned that circumstance to my Gallant Friend, who desired me instantly to take the field on his behalf, and light against any Tory who might be brought forward to oppose hiin. I have several letters from him authorizing me to declare his name ; but as I shall have the responsibility of the arrange ment of tbi; election, and as I have heard some whispers of another gentleman being to be brought forward, I am deter mined that the Reform interest shall not be divided, and that the name of the gentleman for whom I act shall not be men tioned at all. I will withdraw him altogether, unless he alone is to fight Mr. Baring, as I am snre uo personal ambition exists in his mind that could induce him to risk by division the success of your cause.—(Cheers.) I have heard that there are private feelings .and little cliques in this borough, as in truth there are in all boroughs,—hence I determined to mix myself up with none, but appeal openly and pub licly to the whole body of the electors. A small clique of eight gentlemen, men I believe of the highest honour, the most liberal principles, and the most undoubted . patriotism, actuated no doubt by the most honest intentions, have been induced by circumstances to make a bargain —an unjust, illegal, and unconstitutional bargain—the object of which was to transfer you, like cattle, to Mr. Baring, without your own knowledge or consent, and to shut up this borough by a compromise and coalition now and for ever. I knew one of theSe Gentlemen, Mr. Barth, your late Mayor, when he and the late amiable, intellectual, patriotic, and ever to be lamented Mr. Shelley—( Loud cheers)overe acting as deputies from Yarmouth, to sit upon and promote the pass ing of the Municipal Reform Bill. I was sent from Lincoln es the deputy of that city, and in the many debates on the clauses of the Bill which took place in our little Parliament, I had reason to see that Mr. Barth, as well as Mr. Shelley, was a sincere Reformer, and a true friend to the cause of the people. I determined, therefore, to go to him alone, and tell him, as he was one of those who made the bargain, the object of my visit to Yarmouth. I did so, and told him that the bargain was most illegal, unconstitutional, and disgraceful ; and that I was instructed to bring forward a candidate who would contest the borough to the last, and prevent a rejected which raig ht h w e a was i forced r e c vi l Tory forcing himself in by so paltry a manoeuvre. He said he was the lest and the worst man to whom I could apply, as he him selfes and anxieties to was one of the partiesthe illneese : s o ,hai ildo ‘lvvinl a desires bargain, eevs eirr reform, he could do nothing—he and pf u er p eo o lmi n nog t ts l e 7 th n b i i es by circumstances, i ls r ep e u roi m r s t i who t o consider his seven friends were tied to neutrality, but he believed th ere was not another individual in the town who did not det est and repudiate the contract. I told him my chief object in w a iti ng urtn bargain hi ten t icn individualst onef my i ' but l the entered into it—that the electors of Yarmouth should not, i n film was vta a s s t to i n g d ir n e g him npennotice no the language of the law, be " bargained, sold, transferred, and set over"—( Laughter)—in the teeth of their own votes and opinions, to a candid, ate they had tried and re j ec t e d ; nor be compelled to receive Mr. Baring aga i n as t h e i r re p a by a trice sen tative.—(Great cheering.) Besides Mr. Barth, I h ave called r' upon no one, as I had se e n th e ev il o f sma ll c li ques acting for large bodies without their own consent—the few for the many, and the many often sacrificed to the interests of the few.—("True, true," and cheers.) I refused to mix myself up with any man, or set of men. I told ail that I would ex plain all, but it should be before the whole body of the free men and electors in public meeting assembled ; it would not be for the honour of any individual or individuals, with the example of the disgraceful compact before them, to know or seek ,to know any thing which was not at the same time told to tl:e whole body, who were equally interested with themselves, and who were sought to be de frauded of their rights by this most infamous compromise. I said to them, I'll meet yowall and explain to you every thing. : ut, I will put it to y ou w h et h er i t would not be better to get he whole body of freemen and electors together, and to say ere is the man—here are his principles—will you fight with him at your head or not ? I will tell you if you come to that deci sion, that I will state this gentleman's name. I will do it; but it shall be upon the distinct pledge, that provided he be to your mind you shall support him, and not bring forward another to divide the ground among the Reformers, and so allow Mr. Baring to walk in and take possession of his seat against your wills. I have his full permission to publish his name, but as I have the responsibility of managing this matter as his agent, I will not place him in the invidious position of withdrawing before another candidate of perhaps much intellectual and political inferiority. If you have a man to bring forward more likely to promote the great object you have in view ; if there are gentlemen in the neighbourhood more likely to please the electors ; if you will say this is the ease, and that you have entered into the battle under another leader, I will withdraw at once, and you shall never know the name.— (Tremendous cheering.) Let us take a short view of the cir cumstances that have rendered this meeting necessary. Mr. Baring has been pleased to tax Mr. Rumbold and Mr. Wa sher° with bribery. Mr. Baring came here, as I understand, for the purpose of being elected a Member of Parliament. His object, it appears, was to be elected for any place, and on any principles. He did not care much on which side, he merely wanted to get into the House. What does he do? He first comes under a sort of half-tory, half-whig principle ; he then offers himself to Mr. Rumbold, and the Hon. Colonel Anson, with a wish that one of them would retire to save expense ; he said, "if one of you will go out, I will come in as the colleague of the other; lam a Whig." lie first proposes, that he is a proper man to coalesce with a Whig, but when he found that they would have nothing to do with him, he goes round, turns Tory,and coalesces with that immaculate patriet and astonishing orator, Mr. Praed.—( Laughter and cheers.) You know who commenced the system of debau c hi ng, an d tem pti n g, and alienating the feeli ngs o f the poor freemen.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") Y ou k now who set the example to the poor in sayi ng to them, " We will depart from the usual customs, and give y ou more. " You k now h ow warmly, how affectionately those poor freemen loved their old Members—you know how often they uttered the exclamation that two blue guineas were worth ten red ones—you know how many years their old Members had represented them without a whisper, without the most remote hint, without the shadow of a shade of anything like a charge of bribery; yet here, when all was pure, when all was honest, when all were faithful, in comes Mr. Baring and his immaculate companion, and with their gold and their drink THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1838. introduce a new system—debauch, pollute, tempt, and torture the poor fellows by practices contrary to the law of the land and the constitution of Parliament. You saw how these poor men came, with the tears in their eyes and the bribes in their hands, to give their votes against their old champions and benefactors.--(Great cheering.) You sew all this, and you saw the success that attended those hellish devices—you saw them seated in Parliament, the profligate representatives of a prostituted people. At the next election it might have been thought necessary to use similar means. Ido not say it was —it has not been proved that it was ; but supposing, it was_ supposing they did meet bribery to a large extent by bribery to a small extent, was it for Mr. Baring to cast the first stone ? Was it for the Hon. Mr. Baring to turn King's evidence? Was it for one of the merchant princes of London to go and peach against practices of which he bad set the example ? And how does he prefer his charge ? What issue does he take ? Does he say to his own well-whipped up Tory Com mittee—does he dare to say even to these judges who would— " Be to his virtues very kind ; But to his vices very, very ()had ?" Does he yenturs to say to them, " Try us both, and see which is the most, or which is the least worthy of the seat ?" No, no—he prays to unseat the Members—he does not pray to seat himself. Had he done the latter, he knew right well that his own practices would be proved, and he knew that these practices were such as could not with safety come before even aTory Com mittee. He says I can prove you guilty of what I taught you, but you cannot prove me guilty bhause I don't mean to petition to seat mte , elf, but only to unseat you. Is there any honour able man that can help having any ether feeling than the profoundest contempt, and the highest in-lignation' towards such conduct ?—( Graat cheering.) Then just look at the next thing. He says I can unseat them, but as I don't petition to seat myself I'll try a trick or two ; I'll get in by a stratagem ; I know they don't like me ; I know the people of Yarmouth don't like yoursoapy-faced, mealy-mouthed, Cha meleon-coloured politicians : but as I can dishonour the names of those men who supported the freedom of their country, and who would devote their lives and their money to sup poet the freedom of their country again, I have get such a capital trick of law in my favour that I can compel them to let me come in. What does ha do ? Hear him sav ing to the gentlemen who came to fight him-_I can turn out both your members ; I don't care who comes 1 in—you'll never more see Mr. Rumbold arid Mr. Wilshere—l'll convict them of bribery, and then they cannot be returned for Yarmouth or any other place— I'll be the dog in the manger for you—l cannot eat the bay myself, but I'll take especial care your favourite Members shall not. The Yarmouth Gentlemen seeing all this, seeing that no justice could be hoped for, entered into this most flagitious and unconstitutional compromise, but I marvel that it never entered into Mr. Baring's head, or his agent's head, for he bad an able one—the doctrine, the old Tory doctrine, much talked of at the time of the Reform Bill—much-talked of at the time of the Municipal Bill--much-talked of wh enever bri bery is to be perpetuated, or roguery sealed and sanctioned, that in all bargains the rights of third parties are to be repre sented and respected.—(lmmense cheering.) What would Lord Shaftesbury do, do you think, with a Private Bill, in which he found the rights of third parties compromised without their knowledge or consent ?—( Hear.) Why, he would strike out the clause with an indignant dash, and send the Bill and its abettors to a lower house—l shall not say what.—( Laughter and cheers.) Here are certain parties met together—eight gentlemen on one side, and Mr. Baring on the other side—they make a compromise, of which your right of returning you; own Members is the subject. The eight gentlemen might, or might not, think that they had a right to make such a compromise; perhaps they might so far con cede to Mr. Baring's views, as to imagine that the abstraction of their names would gain his election, and that the party would be powerless without them, Ido not believe it. Such is the feeling of the eown, that I believe you have gained eighty, by the loss of eight. —( Great cheering.) It is your duty, it is your interest--nay, more, it is due to your own honour, a n d to your character with your children, to show that you can net for yourselves, and that you will not have this man forced upon you.—(Great cheering.) Mr. Baring h ugge d himself with the ideee that with those eight gentlemen he had gained all Yarmouth. He began first with d o r e c colleague a l e a a a g n u e o l d M a r d . a B g. e a r a t b h 0 . u t A t t. B grayart we b t h e i e n g. M a a o y m o e r_, amiit'l old colleague Mr. Barth. Mr. Barth was ° the Mayor, and t l i e times the better horse —(Laughter)—he secured the grey! Mayor—he would have put a halter about his neck, but the mare was restive, and so he contented himself with a bit in the mouth, and tying up in the stable.—(Laughter.) lie next secured arid tied up Mr. Brightwen the banker ; what can they do without a banker ? said he—what can I do without a banker? My , banking book has always been my hest canvass big book. Who will take me from any favour or affection ? I who am neither fish, nor flesh, nor fowl, nor good red herring ? a -......(R0ars of laughter.) I who can listen with complacency to s any Jack Fal s t a ff w h o may say " Thou art neither fish nor il flesh, and no man knows where to have thee." They do '• know where to have me they have me a t m y bankers, and there I am impreg na bl e , b ut I will take especial care these Yarmouth Blues shall have no banker. —(Laughter and cheers. ) Then came the third gentleman — the lawyer—this trick of walking in without petitioning to be seated smells of some cunn i ng attorney's office. Mr. Baring sew the advantage of a clever lawyer —saw how much he was indebted to trick and quirk himself, and so he ties up Mr. Worship—the Blues must worship at another chapel.— ( Roars cf laughter.) The next was an awkward customer— a rogue in grain ; so he secured Mr. Hammond, the miller, and was determined to starve the rogues out.—(Laughter, and cheers.) Four more completed the number of tied gentlemen ; and neutralizing those eight, he considered himself safe. There were no other persons in Yarmouth who bad either intellectuality, or energy, or patriotism, or a sense of insulted honour, about whose opposition he cared one farthing. What 1 cared he for the 311 householders, and the 468 freemen, who voted against him ? He had secured the grey mare, and the ' grey mare was a good horse, which he imagined must carry his tail along with him.—( Great laughter.) This was his trick to seat himself ; and because you oppose it, some of his Tory friends turn round and say_ u are no t acting honourably —you are not acting honourably or black cattle! ''n refusing to be transferred like black slaves . you offers to coalesce with the Whigs—he then turns roue; and coalesces with the Tories — he begins a wholesale syste of bribery, and, supposing he is met by, the same weapo ns , b e turns round and " peaches." Pe refuses to be tried by the same standard himself, and only prays to unseat others who never dreamt of such practices till he rendered them almost necessary Had in self-defence, and then he talk s a b ou t " h onour. " not Mr. Baring better, as Lady Teazle said to an other Joseph Surface, "heave honour out of the question ?" (Great cheering.) What is honour? Addison answers the question— o The noble mind's distinguishing perfection, That aids and strengthens Virtue where she meets her, And imitates her actions where she is not : at ought not to be sported with." —( Cheers.) Where is Mr. Baring's honour to you in try- Hear. ) Honour inde e d ! T alk of chastit in a y ing to force himself upon you b y an e l ect i oneer i ng brothel; t a lk of honesty amo ng p i c k -packets ; but talk not of honour in this transaction !—( Rapturous cheering.) Ido So far as the sitti ng M embers are concerned, not so much complain of those eight gentl emen who made the bargain ; I know what the tender inergiee of T ore C omm i ttees Rumbold and Wilshere, it may b e a good bargain for are, with the exciting d e sire to pick a hole he th e coat of a Re them ; but besides usurping your rights, w h at d oes Baring say Why, that taking those eight gent l emen away, the to you ? f ii o le m s s e r r s . . wholeof the inhabitants of Yarmouth are nothing and nobody ; without there gentlemen you can do nothing ; b e will ride over you—you cannot stir —you must.be placed in the position of slaves. You arc to have no earthly means of I say it is a personal insult to every man in Yar a(%Lo‘hidoienrgothe trickery and the treachery of this conduct. Were I a Yarmouth men, and Mr. Baring were to Yar mouth. eight gentlemen carried with them all the say that Yarmouth could not stir without those eight gentle ehlaens'd'it a personal insult. It is not for me place, I should public spirit of the to te ll you what indignation ought to exist in your own bo some at an attempt like this. A more gross, a more flagitious, unconstitutional attempt WPa never recorded in the a inore annals of Parliament; when one of the merchant Princes of London, as they are called, would do a thing of that sort, be t to be held up to the disgust and contempt of every ci vilized man, every patriot, and every Christian. -4 Loud cheers.) If he had any delicacy would lie attempt such a thing? Would any of you force yourselves upon a man to h e his executor against his wish ? Would any of you force y ou rselves upon a m an t o b e t h e trustee of his estate when he did not desire yo u - t o b e so ? H e had a majority of the free men who might b e operate d upon, but he had not a majority of those who could not h e operated upon. Yet this man, who had only' this sp ec i es of majority, comes an d says , " I'll f orce your wishes; I'll force myself on you, and I'll give vo t es t o t h e T or i es w h en you w i s h me to supp ort the Reformers ; I'll support Carlism in misrepresent ro t ri se i againstlt yo u ; Spain ; I'll support black ,:lavery in the West Indies ; I'll support Tory misrule in Ireland ; I'll support flogging i n t h e army and impressment in the navy ; I'll oppose free trade, which can alone make Yarmouth great and flourishing. I scorn you and spurn you, and will ruin you if I like, but I will be your Member in spite of your teeth—l'll get returned by a trick.—( Immense cheering.) Will you let him ?—( No, no. ) Well, then, who is to fight the battle ?—( Hear, hear.) Before I enter upon this sub ject, let me tell you that I have had some experience in elec. ti" e cring• I have been asked what can - you do against Mr. Baring and our eight tied leaders? why, beat him,—(lm mense cheering.) While yet a clerk, I never went to my bed for fourteen nights in fighting the battle at Hull, when Mr., now Sir James Graham was returned, after a scrutiny, by a majority of one. I divided Cumberland, and hoisted the blue flag against the plague-coloured banner of the Lowthers, and all their yellow mushrooms, nominally on the election of a Coroner, but really to try the strength of the county ; and I beat them, at a cost to myself of about 30/., costing them upwards of 1,2001., and retired with a majority. Skiddaw in its snowy glory, and the Lakes in their silvery beauty echoed the shouts of freedom, and from that day Cumberland was emancipated—again I without a lawyer or a doctor, or a parson, fought the battle of Stamford and won it—l bearded the lion in his lair—the Mar quis of Exeter in his stronghold—and with the hearty and determined feeling of men who risqued their homes and were turned out in the dead of winter • ;of men— " Who knew their rights and knowing dar'd maintain" I won a much more difficult battle than this of Yarmouth.— ( Great cheerin, q.) At the last general election, I had the sole management of Mr. D'Eyncourt's election for Lambeth, and was engaged for Mr. L ea d er a t Westminster, Locke King, and Angersteirt in East Surrey, and Lord Milton in North amptonshire. I ,peak to y ou f rom my experience, and that ex perience emboldens me to point out to you the path which I think you oug h t to pursue. You are divided into many parties here. Some are but inclined to be Whigs ; ceber§ake Stafficii Whigs; others are half Radicals ; and ethers whole Radlei:RA Now, in the choice of your candidate you must give and take.. Each of you cann o t ex p ec t t o find a man exactly of , his own shade of opi n i ons — nor i s it nece s asr y h e s h ou ld. From the half Whig to th e full-grown Radical there is no difference in principle, but only in degree . . The cause 077 each is the same, and that cause is the cause of THE PE'WLE—(Cheers)—the greatest happiness of the people—( Renewed cheers)---to save the plundered many from the plundering few.—(Cheers re peated.) The difference among all Reformers is only as to the pace—we all go the 'same roe-i. Some may, with the immortal Bacon, think that political changes ought to be like those of time, ime , erceptible in their progress, but felt in their effects; others, again, that you cannot too soon get rid of fallacies and usurpations. In this instance.you must not per mit those differences to influence you :—whether the candidate to be proposed be a brave man, and wish to go fast, or a pru dent man, and wish to go safe ; that he does wish to go at all should be sufficient for you—the first and the paramount con sideration in your minds being, will he wipe out this stain and insult ?_will he save you from this threatened transfer ?—will he nail his colours to the mast, and never dcscrt them while one man is left in the ship ? The character of the man I have to propose will be his best guarantee. (Great cheering.) But I am not going to bring this gentleman forward, unless you arc united in his favour—l will not consent that he shall be placed in the invidious position of being obliged to give way before another nand:date in the same in terest, or to divide and to destroy that interest. Ile never did willingly divide the Reformers, and never will. He is a highly honourable, a highly philosophical, and a highly pa triotic man —staunch to the backbone. He was appointed the Governor of a Colony after the Slave Trade Abolition Act had passed ; and it became his duty to free the captured slaves, and put down the system. He did so in spite of nods and winks from those higher in office that he need not be so strict. He cared for none of their nods and winks—he carried the spirit and the letter of the law into effect, and being found inconveniently honest, most perversely straight forward, he was recalled, and some more flexible Governor sent in his place.—( Great cheering.) Another point in his character of the greatest importance to you is that he is a determined enemy to the Corn-law, and as de termined a friend to Free Trade.-_(" Quite right.") His writings on this subject have had a greater sale than those of any other author now alive ; and consider you how important it would be to Yarmouth, with her excellent local position towards the northern countries of Europe, towards the countries of the Elbe and the Weser, the Hans Towns, Prussia and Russia, were the Corn Laws repealed.—( Great cheering.) The next point is, that he is an unflinching Radical Reformer.—(Great cheering.) I may not go so far, and perhaps some of you may not. What then ? His Radi calism can do no harm, while it will keep the Tories out just as well as the most flexible Whiggism. He trill support the Government when they arc right, and only oppose them when they are wrong —such as in the Slave Question._(Cheers.) His object will be not to make them go out, but to make them go en.—(Great cheering.) He has supported civil and re ligious liberty in every shape, and in many climes; he is for the abolition of the Church-rates, so far as regards the Dis senter, and for causing every man to " sit under his own vine and his own fig tree, without any daring to make him afraid." —(Cheers ) Ia distant fields, as a gallant Englishman, he has— Fought for the land his soul adored, For happy homes and altars free ; His only talisman, the sword ; His only spell-word— LIBERTY. I now put it to you, would you feel Yarmouth dishonoured by being represented by such a man as this ?—( The Deputy Re corder—" Certainly not.") Well, then, I have nothing now to do but to learn whether any other candidate is to be brought forward ? If any other is to be brought forward, the Gentleman for whom I act shall not come. The Reformers shall never be divided by any matter in which I am concerned. —(Great cheering.) Neither will I permit that any Gentle man for whom I act shall have his name put forward, and then he compelled to retire to make way for Mr. A., Mr. 8., or Mr. C. I will consent to no tricks and no intrigues—l have no secrets—and I am bound to tell you that I have been asked by Mr. Wilshere's legal agent to give a pledge that my friend shall, if that Gentleman desire him, retire at the end of the present Parliament. I have given that pledge.—(Great cheering.) I have now oely to throw myself into your hands as to the name. If you demand it, I will state it after I un derstand that no other candidate is to be brought forward; but I had much rather do so before the whole body of the free men and electors, who are so deeply interested in - defeating this unconstitutional compromise, and keeping the Borough open.—( Great cheering. ) Mr. R. IdAmmoNn.—The most important thing- now is—is any other - gentleman to be brought forward ?—( Hear, hear.) If there be anything in the back ground, state it.—(Hear.) .It is well known among a great many of my friends; that I drad a communication from a gentleman in London. That in dividual has never been mentioned by me ; therefore I cannot Say anything at this moment tkithout first knowing whether - any other gentleman has any ether candidate to propose. If there be not I shall then perhaps haye•an opportunity of stating ' any views aft er M r . N ort hh ouse names his candidate. Perhaps he'll be kind enough to tell us who he is, and that will remove all dissension and complaint. —( Hear, hear, and " Name.") I know it has been intimated to me that Mr. Nurse will come forward. Mr. Nurse is not the gentleman I had a communi cation with ; and if there is any gentleman who has bad any communication with Mr. Nurse, his best way is, if he intends to bring him forward and divide the Reform interest in this town, to come forward and state it openly ; if not, perhaps we can go on. The DEPUTY RECORDER—I can assure you I feel in an awkward predicament. I must tell you I believe Mr. Nurse is inclined to come forward and fight the battle for us ; still I do not intend. to propose Mr. Nurse to--night, though it has been represented all over the town that I came here to pro pose him. I propose that Mr. Northheuse name his man. If that gentleman be a man fit to represent us. I shall withdraw my motion to propose Mr. Nurse. I have a letter in my pocket, which states that Mr. Nurse is ready to come forward to fight our battle, but Lshall not undertake to propose him as a candidate to represent us in Parliament till Mr. Northhouse name his friend. Perhaps he may be more proper. I call on that gentleman to say whom does he represent ? Then we come to the question—then we will decide who we shall have —Mr. Nurse or Mr. Ewart, Mr. Nukes or Mr. Styles. I think Mr. Northhouse should say to us whom he represents. Mr. R.' HANIMOND said—a Gentlemen, I think there is one important thing in Mr. Northhouse's friend, he gives us his pledge that at the end of the Parliament he will retire to make room for Mr. Wilshere. I believe Mr. Palmer has not that authority. The DEPUTY RECORDER—Yes, I have. My friends told me, that if Mr. Nurse came to Yarmouth, at the end of the Par liament he is to go back and fight Norwich. I highly ap prove of Mr. Willshere ; his name is in every important divi sion on the right side ; I should be sorry to lose him, or to propose any man who would not give way to him when he could be again brought forward. Mr. NORTIIItoUSE—I will mention the name of the candi date if I am to understand he is to fight the battle, but not otherwise. It will not do for a gentleman, a scholar, and a philosopher, to be put aside for another, who, however es timable, does not hold the same intellectual and political rank. Whoever is to be the candidate the borough is to go to nurse till another Parliameot.—( Laughter.) If Mr. Nurse be the gentlemen let no other be mentioned. The DEPUTY RECORDER—I perfectly agree with Mr. Northhouse; but how can we decide who is to he the can-• didate unless we know who he is ? If the candidate were Captain Diavolo—(Loud laughter)—he did not care, only tell him to them, and he would tell them who he would vote for. Mr. J. L. CUPAUDE asked whether, if Mr. Northhouse men tioned the name of his Candidate, they would withdraw Mr. Nurse? Mr. R. HAMMON D said that in the event of Mr. Northhouse's friend being p roposed there that evening- and carried by a' majority, would Mr. Palmer and his friends to come into' the majority ?--(" Yea," from Mr. Palmer.) Then, Mr. Northhouse, I think a f ter your able address, there is not the slightest fear of disunion. You may immediately mention the gentleman's name. I will pledge myself we stand a fair and excellent chance of a large majority.--( Hear, hear.) The DEPUTY RECORDER-_I expressly say this, if Mr. Northhouse will name his friend, and this meeting say his friend is to be the Candidate at the next election, I'll support him.—( Bravo.) I was silent at the last election ; but from what I have seen take place since then, I have made up my mind to do this. I was once a strong electioneering man. I will be the same again. —(L ou d c h eers.) I will not bow to Mr. Baring—l will not allow Mr. 'Baring to walk over the course; I will oppose him. Only let us fight with the sub stance, not with the shadow. If you mention the name of the gentleman, and the meeting- approve of him, I will fight for him—whether he votes for the Ballot or not. Mr. NORTIIMOUSE—Tnis looks like business. I have now only to add, if, after I have n ame d t h e gentleman, there are in this large assembly a proportion of one in twenty against him, he shall be withdrawn, as I am sure he will not consent to divide the reformers. The honourable candidate is Colonel Thompson.—(lmmense cheering, and shouts of " bravo.") The DEPUTY -RECORDER—Is that Colonel Thompson, the late Member for Hull ?—(" Yes," from Mr. Northhouse.") I have no objection to him ; he is a good Radical. If Mr. Hammond has any candidate to propose, he had better now mention him—if not let us propose the resolution. Mr. R. HaramoNo—l withdraw my friend; I am satisfied, as I believe we all are, with Colonel Thompson. The DEPUTY RECORDER-4 feel a difficulty in proposing the resolution. I have heard from several quarters that our opposing Mr. Baring is dishonourable ; that the eight gen tlemen who pledged themselves were the representatives of the whole party.—( Cries of "No I") In that I differ. I can tell you, I saw two or three of the gentlemen on their re turn from London ; my question was, "Do you consider, from the compromise you entered into, that you pledged the whole party, or only yourselves ?" The reply was, " Palmer, we pledged only ourselves ; we expressly told Baring we pledged ourselves only, we didn't pledge the party ; therefore if they think proper to oppose you, you run the risk." I have it from gentlemen of undoubted veracity ; I'll name them— ( Cries of " No, no 1")---I'd take their words sooner than many men's oaths. They told Mr. Baring they were not bound for the party. I put it to you, Gentlemen, are we dishonest or dishonourable in opposing Mr. Baring ? We have lost a few votes, but we must fight the harder ; we must go into it like men, and not -sleep in our beds.---(" Bravo I") I'll not fight for Mr. Baring, nor for a 'Tory.—(Cheers.) I am sorry the resolution did not fall into abler hands. I pro pose with great pleasure— " That this meeting repudiates as unjust, illegal, and un constitutional, any bargain or a greement a ff ect i ng the votes or rights of th e freemen and" electors in this borough, without their being consulted on the subject, in placing Mr, Baring, the re- 4 - aee'.ed candid in the rooll of Mr. Wilsherke, the accepted c'anflidare to repre3calt this borougiy." MC. R. IlammoNb said that he had great pleasure in second ing the resolution, which WAS carried unanimously. The CllAlP..m.is—dt there be no ofbiar resolutions to propose, a conclusion is to be cortle t t raspeetine• Colonel Thompson. For my own part, I have heel:, more than delighted by hear ing his name menticaed by our worthy friend, :Mr. Northhousc. There are few here that don't knot; as far as his Parlia mentary conduct goes, what Colonel Thomason is. and when we put it to the meeting whether or not you wsllsup,oort Colonel l'!lempaon, I trust you will be unanimous, but I shall give the most Cernplete means of discovering any dissentient. CEIAIIIMAN—TIIOSe rho are desirous that Colonel Thotepten shall be our candidate to oppose Mr. Baring, and who will pledge thomselves to support him, let them hold up their hands. Every band appeared to beheld up. Trite CHAIRMAN _Tj a ase who would pref er an y ot h er candi date let them held up their" halide. Not one. It is carried unanimously.—( Protracted aaheeriage ) Mr. NonTintousE—Colonel Thompson being now your elected and selected candidate, I ,may mention, one or two e i r - cuinstarces•l could not before. As the Reprea .enta tive of his and my native town ( Hull), he knows much of maritime busi ness, and can be of great service to your port.—( Hear.) In the next place he is one of the most assialuous Mea'llaers that ever sat in Parliament. A list has been published o f the 653 Members who voted on all the important questions, aa id Col. Thompson's name stands, I believe, the third in that list— placing him in point of attendance above 664 Mmnbers. , and thus showing that whatever his opinions may he; hie dora not keep thew in his pocket, or parade them only upon field elsays. —(:scud cl3eeers ) The last thing I have to remark upon is his conduct during the late Marylebone election. I disap.. proved of it until i heard the facts from himself. He wasi elem.!) , in the field when Mr. Evart, a gentleman of sinilar opinioes, a most excelleat patriot, the friend of education- • of science, and . of humanity, was breught forward by a gentleman whose public services have ver v properly given to his opinions immense weight. Colo:lel Thompson was asked to withdraw, but lie could not—ho had given a pledge to stand.to the last, which pledge I am ass aired he was not permitted to recall—three times before had he withdrawn to make room for others, and he would always with: draw for the public good whenever he could do so consistently with his personal honoue, thanking God I presume, with the Attaeljan rejected candidate that there were 300 better men in Athens than himself.—(Cheers.) He has offered various eon stituences, among which I can mention Glasgow, Dundee, and Dunfermline, but he would not consent to oppose Reform ers, though only Whigs. Being a Radical, be is the best mans to fight your battles—had lie been a mere Government sup porter, he might have injured your cause, as I have heard that more distinguished individuals than those who entered into the compromisewherehyyou were to be transferred like cattle to Mr. Baring were privy and consenting parties to it, and possibly might be charged, though not chargeah!e, with bad faith ire the transaction.—(Hear.) I have reason to believe that Colonel Thompson is not looked upon as an enemy by the Government, thouel they know that he goes muci: farther than they in his opinions, and will oppose them upon almost all subjects on which they will get the support of the Tories. —(Cheers.) Such are his views; but he is willing to be governed entirely by his constituents. Vote against his opinions he will not, but he never will vote. against thew's.— ( Loud cheers, and cries of " That's the man.") The DEPUTY RECORDER—I think what I t on now about to• say is almost as important as having the Candißtesimr It - was with great pleasure I heard the name of Colonel Thomp son announced. He is a gentleman to whom no h.-)neectionst Re former can have any o bj e cti on ; th ere f ore I h a d no ()Al to withdraw Mr. Nurse, —( Muir, and cheers.) Sha. l have Colonel Thompson come down at once, or wait to see the operations of Mr. Baring - ?—(Cries of " Come at once.' Mr. NORTIMOUSE said he should -go at once to Mr. Wil there, and ask him to mention the time when they should come down and fight the battle. He would go to London imme diately, and come - back with Colonel Thompson as speedily as poFsiblc. , ., and as so n as a 'decision can be obtained.—( Cheers. ) Three cheers were then proposed for 't Colonel Thompson and no comp rom i se ," w hi c h were extended into nine times. nine, and tumultuous applause. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting rated in high enthusiasm. GRE4T WESTERN STEAM SHIP. When the question as to the practicability of steam voyages aercss the Atlantic was discussed last year at the meeting of the British association, Mr. Guppy made the following obser vations, which the result of the late voyage. has almost lite rally verified. He stated that " a steam vessel had just been bat at Bristol, with engines of 200 horse power each, and taking the burden of the vessel at 1,300 tons, her engine,,, boilers, and their Water, would weigh . from 350 to 400 tons, which left 900 tons for coals and cargo. Reckoning the average consumption in the beat steam vessels, it would be found that her engines would not consume more than 30 tons a day. If she were found to average nir. miles per I:cur (and he hoped it would be /tennr ten) she ought to perform her voyage in twelve, and against disadvantageous winds in eighteen, days. He was therefore sanguine that steam nay.i gation across the Atlantic would be shortly established." The'. following is the average of the Great fiTe.sl;Til, as stated in the Nautica/Magazine. The distallee T 4 ari from Bristol to New York was 3,125 milcs; average each hour S. 2. miles. The distance run from New York to Bristol was 3,192 miler, average each hour about nine Miles. She carried cut 660 tons of coals,and on her arrival at New York had 203 tons remainieg. She left New York with 570 tons, and arrived with 178 tons on board at Bristol ; her average daily consumption was 27 tons, and with the expansion valves up 32 tons, thus making the voyage out in somewhat more than fifteen days, and the home ward voyage in less than fifteen. When we take into account the stoppages made to cool the bearings, and arrange a part of the machinery, by which she was considerably- delayed (the average for two days being only six and a half kiwis the hour) and also the adverse winds she had to contend with, it ap proaches to ecrtaint,• that she will perform the homeward voyage often in twelve clays. INQUES T ON THE COURTENAY RIOTERS. BROUGHTON-UPON-BLEAN, JUNE 3.—This morning the Coroner's Jury sat on the body of George Catt, the constable, killed by mistake during the affray. Stephen Champ, labourer, had been at Borsenden i,lrood on Thursday, May 31, when he saw the deceased, George Cott, who was acting as a constable and endeavouring to suppress the riotous proceed ings of the mob who were assembled together intlav wood. Saw Lieut. Bennett in front of hi.; detachment and going towards Courtenay, who was also advancing towards him. Some words were addressed by Mr. Bennett to Courtenay, but what they were witness could not hear. When they were 'within a stride of each other, he saw Courtenay presenting a pistol at the Lieutenant with his right hand ; instantly heard a report, and saw Bennett fall: Witnes,: was so close to that officer that if be had struck any person before he was shot he must have seen him. It was uttesiy impossible for Bennett to have touched anyone of the mob with his sword before he was shot, nor was any one near enough to have reached him before ho was shot by Courtenay. Lieutenant Bennett was the first person that fell or was wounded. Catt was at the right hand of that officer at the time, and there witness found him dead afterwards with a gun.shot wou:ld in his head. Is perfectly certain that Catt was shot by the military the execution of their duty, by accident. Thomas coach porter, gave similar evidence. In this case the jury returnrrd a verdict that " The deceased was shot by the military by accident, while in the execution of their duty." In tire inquest on Wm. Bur ford, "Sir William Courtenay," alias John Tor; George Griggs, Stephen Baker, George Branchett, William Foster, Phincas Harvey, Edward Wraig:it, Wifliam Rye, the jury re turned the same verdict—Justitiable Homicide.

" COMMISSION OE LUNACY. —A. Commission, at the instance of the rel:tives of John Gould, Esq., of Amberd House, Taunton, was opened at Winterhourue, on Wednesday, to ascertain the validity of the allegation that this respectable gentleman was of unsound mind. Several medical and other gentlemen deposed to Mr. Gould's erratic habits and insane state of intellect for tome time past, which was corroborated by the keepers of Gloucester Asylum, whereto the unfor tunate gentleman has for mouths past [seen plactl.. Mr. Gould was pre_ sent during the investigation, and by his attention to its progress, and acute suggestions to his Counsel in disparagement of the evidence ad. duced, transiently weakened the impression derived from the testimony of the witnesses. Some unequivocal manifestations of mental disorder were, however, subsequently displayed, which tended greatly to support the propriety and object of the proceedings.
